I hate to say "only" $100, but if that is all you will lose, run, do not walk, away! I know I responded to your other thread, and that led me to this. The deposit is less than you will spend with one of the health issues these other folks have had, so say nothing of dealing with a sick dog, which will break your heart. Go the the YTCA website and check breeders they recommend, or start a new thread asking for good breeders in the area you are willing to travel to. (I know not to end a sentence with a preposition, but it is late here, and it has been a long few weeks!)

The big problems are that there are multiple reports of problems which sound like they are the result of not just poor breeding, but also of poor care for the dogs.

How old is your daughter? Is she old enough to understand waiting, or should you give yourself more time and let this be a day-after-Christmas gift? The other things you have bought will last, so they are no loss.

Hoping you find peace about all of this. It sounds like you care for your child and for the pet that she will love.

Jason,
Unfortunately I decided to dont get a puppy from you. I have made my researches and have found too many red flags and Im not willing to take this risk. First of all, I know the dog you are sending me is NOT the one in the picture. In Fact, I have been looking on the website and every week you update the website and keep saying that the dog is 10 weeks old, for a month now, and the dog is STILL available even though i gave the deposit to hold and reserve it. And when I called you, you told me the dog was 8 weeks old. I have asked you so many times for more pictures of the dog, and you said you dont have it. How is that even possible?

Anyways, I could go on and on here about every single little detail that is not right but you know then, you know I know them too so doesn't even matter at this point.

I made a deposit of $100 dollars. Im backing out not because I dont want the dog anymore or I have changed my mind, but because I have found that many of the things you said is NOT true and Im not willing to take this risk. So, You can decide if you want to be honest enough to give my money back, or you can keep it as non-refundable. But, Im telling you, If you keep if, I will consider a lost, but you can wait to have a very bad review online. And Im sure my $100 will be nothing compare to the hurt my review will do to your business.

Let me know,

Louise.

Was wondering, has anyone else on this site had a bad experience with this breeder? That anyone knows of......

I bought my mom a puppy from Jason Hill a little over a year ago... cutest puppy I'd ever seen. However, I called him a few days later because the dog had a cough. He said it was normal for a dog to have kennel cough and not to worry about it... I did take the dog to the vet to get it cleared up. Dog ended up being 8 pounds, not the 3.5 stated... it's teeth grew in badly on the bottom, bad knees (not uncommon for a Yorkie), ears never stood up. We've had Yorkies before, did not have the problems this one presented so quickly. However, we sure do love this little guy!!

We purchased a puppy from Jason Hill also. I answered a Craigslist add for her (which showed a full health guarantee).I wish I would've checked here first!
I did not even have her for 24hrs when we had to rush her to the emergency vet in my town, she had hypoglycemia whigh was brought on by an exisiting infection! I messaged Jason immediately & he told me to send him a copy of the bill, which I did the next morning.
His response was that his insurance wouldn't cover that so he wasn't paying it. He asked for proof that it was his fault she was sick. I provided him with letters from the emergency room vet, my personal vet & also a 3rd vet, all stating that the existing infection is what caused the hypoglycemia. Also, my puppy was suppose to have her dew claws removed, which they were not! I have still not been able to settle this with him, from June of 2014. I have all of my messages back & forth between us & a file about 3 in thick. I would love to shut him down so he can't do this to anyone else.

I have had puppies drag their bums and pull the hair off themselves. No ringworm, just a klingon that dried and escaped attention.

A puppy with worms isnt great, and it does say a lot about the breeder but it isnt the end of the world either.
